Summary - WILLOW COTTAGE CHATHAM GREEN LITTLE WALTHAM CHELMSFORD CM3 3LQ
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Semi rural plot with vaulted garden room and separate studio.
Approximately 0.5 acre landscaped garden and private woodland
Set on around half an acre of mature, landscaped grounds, this extended three double bedroom property blends mid‑20th century character with a striking contemporary vaulted garden room. The open apex extension has a zinc exterior, triple-aspect glazing, Velux windows and underfloor heating, creating a bright family hub that overlooks woodland and specimen trees. An independent, vaulted studio with en‑suite offers flexible space for a home office, treatment room or hobby room.
The house includes a formal lounge with feature beams, a kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and a utility linking to the garage. Two large first‑floor bedrooms and a substantial ground‑floor bedroom provide options for multi‑generational or single‑storey living. Practical advantages include a detached garage, extensive gravel parking and existing planning consent (21/01657/FUL) for a single‑storey side extension and detached double garage.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are slow and local crime levels are above average. The property dates from the 1950s and, while much improved, some areas may benefit from further modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Council tax is described as expensive. The semi‑rural position means private, countryside living but requires travel for rail and some services.
This house will suit families or professionals seeking generous gardens, flexible outbuildings and countryside privacy on the edge of Chelmsford. The plot, character features and permission to extend present clear scope to add value or personalise the home further.
